The e bees were added to this hive in the rain, and many frames were missing or crooked. So, the bees make a lot of bur comb. That was removed with some honey already made. The honey was wonderful! It almost makes me want to change plans to make this a buckwheat honey hive by planting the nearby field with buckwheat. The bees are very active and very few dead bees under the entrance. A small amount of excess honey was placed in an orange rind and the Orioles love it. They are usually skittish, but they were so interested in the honey, they allowed close up pictures. Two missing hive tools not found, I guessed they were inside the hive, but no.
